Jason bails on the Festool/Rubio event which chaps Keith's undercarriage. Jason is also working on his outdoor kitchen/bar thingy, but is short of hardener and his schedule is compromised.

✦ Produced at Assembly Studios in Atlanta, CBS's "Beyond the Gates" follows the relationships, rivalries, and secrets that follow the residents of the fictional gated community of Fairmont Crest. The fall season of the first African American daytime soap opera kicked off on Monday and features a diverse lineup of veteran talents and fresh faces. Two of the latter include actors Colby Muhammed and Ambyr Michelle, who play rival sisters Kat Richardson and Eva Thomas. The two burgeoning scene stealers recently spoke with City Lights Collective member Kenny Murray about their personal career journeys and what's ahead for the freshman daytime drama. ✦ We love hearing from our artistic community In Their Own Words. This is where they tell us who they are, what they do, what they love, and a few things you might not see coming. What things? Who knows, there's only one way to find out. Today, we hear from Atlanta artist Demetri. ✦ 23-year-old singer ivri has carved out a distinct place for herself in the internet's hyper-saturated music scene. She made her debut at the age of 15, posting faceless snippets of her singing on Instagram that garnered hundreds of thousands of views and a dedicated fanbase that has stuck with her for the better part of a decade. Now a seasoned musician with millions of monthly listeners worldwide, Ivri released her debut album, "Tower of Memories," last month, and is embarking on her first headlining tour across the country. Ahead of her Atlanta performance at Masquerade on September 16, she spoke with City Lights Collective member Jacob Smulian and began by explaining what it was like to take a leap of faith and move to New York City, by herself, at only 18 years old. ✦ Starting in the 1880s, each year on September 1, every single lease in the City of Atlanta—yes, the entire city—expired and renters moved out and into new homes…on the exact same day. Wagons jammed the streets. Furniture everywhere. Tempers flaring. Back pain? Guaranteed. From utility workers following behind to reset phone lines and gas, to real estate tycoons begging for more rental properties. So how did it all work? And when did it finally disappear? City Lights Collective member and self-proclaimed history nerd Victoria Lemos has more. ✦ Atlanta's first-ever full-time string quartet is celebrating 20 years with a free concert tomorrow, September 12. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans shares more about the Vega Quartet. ✦ There are not many places and productions where Orisha Mythology, Caribbean folklore, dance, and Black Punk music all come together to create an artistic gumbo that is sure to stick to your ribs and blow your mind. In Atlanta, we are in luck because F.Punk Junkies is such a production, and 7Stages is the place to see it. City Lights Collective co-host Jon Goode caught up with some of the people creating this magical, mystical theater experience in Little Five Points.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Developers often pitch furniture packages as a quick and easy way to get your new property rental-ready. But are they really worth the $35,000 price tag … or are you just paying for convenience?In this episode, Ed and Andrew dig into a real example of a $35k furniture pack for a Queenstown townhouse and compare it against what you'd spend furnishing the same property yourself.You'll learn:What's actually included in a $35k furniture package (and how much the same items cost from mainstream retailers)The 3 simple tests to tell if a furniture pack is good value … or a rip-offWhen it makes sense to pay for convenience, and when you're better off doing it yourselfIf you're considering a New Build or an Airbnb property, this episode gives you the framework to make sure you're not overpaying for “extras.”Don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠create your free Opes+ account here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.For more from Opes Partners:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for the weekly Private Property newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Furniture maker Ethan Allen manufactures about 75% of its products in North America, almost half in the US. Farooq Kathwari, Ethan Allen Chairman, President & CEO, says setting up efficient manufacturing in the US has given the company an advantage against tariff uncertainties, however some prices are expected to increase and they are seeing a drop in store traffic amidst a slow housing market. He speaks with hosts Matt Miller and Dani Burger. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Modern Retail Podcast, co-hosts Gabi Barkho and Melissa Daniels get into the news of President Donald Trump signaling the potential for higher tariffs on the furniture sector, and what it means for companies in the space. Then they get into the trend of travelers deciding to go to Europe for luxury shopping sprees in order to scoop up designer goods without any tariff-related cost increases. Then for this week's featured segment (16:30), Daniels is joined by Sonia Lapinsky of Alix Partners to recap how consumers spent this summer. They get into the nuances of deal-seeking behavior at a time when people are still adjusting to high inflation and increased prices, and how to best capture a fickle consumer. Lapinsky unpacks topics like: why even customers who trade down care about brand, how pulled-forward demand could impact Q4 and how brands can navigate the dual challenge of increasing costs and a highly promotional environment

It is often said that Interior Design is 5% creativity and 95% uphill slog. Most of what we do involves translating a creative vision into a set of instructions for someone else to build and then battling through to make sure the vision is realised. So, while the process is important, without that precious initial spark there is no interior to build. All designers suffer at times from designer's block – there are times when the ideas simply will not flow, and times when the designer can find themselves drowning in the 95% of project admin. So how can designers keep their heads above water and keep the creative spark alive? Where should they look for the design hooks that will make their projects sing? And how can they hold onto their vision while weathering the din of project noise that can sometimes threaten to overwhelm them? To find out the answers to these and other burning questions, we're joined in this show by two very special guests – Venetia Rudebeck and Romanos Brihi – the creative drivers behind London based practice ‘Studio Vero' – recently named one of House and Gardens Top 100 finest interior designers.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit, your ultimate guide to making good homes better! We're covering a lot of ground today, so here's a quick rundown of what we're talking about and the incredible callers we're helping with expert home improvement advice:  - Bathroom Design Ideas: We offer a range of modern design ideas for bathrooms, from cozy powder rooms to luxurious spa spaces, drawing inspiration from Wallpaper Magazine to elevate your space and style. - Patio Furniture Care: Get valuable tips for cleaning and storing patio furniture made from various materials, including wicker, metal, wood, and cushions, to ensure they stay in great shape for seasons to come. - Concrete Post Footings: We discuss the value of Quikrete's fast-setting concrete as an easy way to set posts for fences, mailboxes, or basketball hoops, producing strong, stable results in under an hour without mixing or mess! - Kids' Room Décor: Learn about the art of redecorating kids' rooms, including the importance of budget planning, material selection, safety, and thinking about how the space will evolve with the child's age.   Q & A: - Teresa called in about changing the finish of her wood deck, which is half new pre-treated lumber and half old painted lumber. The paint must be removed before staining because stain won't soak into paint, and the new pre-treated lumber will need to season until next spring before being stained. - Ted from Mississippi has a sewage odor in his bathroom. We suggest checking for a missing or non-functional plumbing trap or a bio-gas situation in the sink drain. - Janet from South Carolina inquires about options other than tile for her bathroom walls, due to staining issues. We recommend looking into pre-made tub surrounds as a durable and virtually leakproof alternative that can even mimic tile. - Jerry from West Virginia wants to soundproof a second-floor master bedroom he's converting into a movie room. We suggest applying a second layer of soundproofing drywall and using carpeting and upholstered furniture to absorb sound. - Kathy from Ohio reports a squealing noise from her upstairs toilet when the washer was running on the utility floor. Squeals are typically from the toilet's fill valve on the supply side, though a blockage or vent issue could also be a possibility. - Dan from Nebraska has a widespread mold situation in his three-year-old pole building, despite no previous issues. We identify the cause as high humidity due to a lack of conditioning in the space. Solutions include heating or cooling the space, using a dehumidifier, and potentially installing a fan with a humidistat.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

KJ The Kitty Correspondent offers practical advice to help cat owners keep their furniture scratch-free while ensuring their feline friends are happy.KJ suggests placing new scratching options, such as tall sisal posts and flat cardboard scratchers, right next to new furniture to divert cats from scratching couches. Using catnip or silvervine can make these alternatives more appealing.To protect furniture, KJ recommends covering high-risk areas like corners and armrests with throw blankets for the first few weeks. This not only protects the furniture but also adds a decorative touch. Keeping treats nearby allows owners to reward cats instantly for using scratchers instead of furniture, reinforcing positive behavior.KJ advises against scolding cats during the initial days, suggesting calm redirection and praise for good choices instead. Regularly refreshing scratching spots by replacing pads, rotating toys, and changing locations can keep them attractive to cats. Interactive play, such as using wand toys or laser pointers, can help reduce boredom-induced scratching by providing mental and physical stimulation.By following these strategies, cat owners can create a harmonious environment where both pets and furniture coexist peacefully.For more tips, KJ The Kitty Correspondent invites cat enthusiasts to join the SuPURR Cat Parent Society.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The sisters kick things off with an update on Courtney's new house and her adventures in DIY furniture building. From proudly assembling a credenza and nightstand to a late-night dresser disaster that left an IKEA manager accusing her of “furniture abuse,” Courtney learns the hard way when to pick up the power drill—and when to put it down in favor of rosé. With her walls still bare, Courtney sets her sights on Daddy Ashley's art collection, but his non-committal response sparks a new sisterly scheme: pitching him on turning her home into a gallery where guests can buy the art right off the walls. Courtney also shares the emotional reveal of Vivi's “dream room,” the teenage dance crew already taking over the podcast studio, and the satisfaction of settling into a space that finally feels like home. Meanwhile, Whitney has been jet-setting to New York. She dishes on a wedding weekend, an unforgettable dinner at Israeli hotspot Shmoné, and a surprise run-in with Hey Sis alum Chef Lior, better known as The Spice King. From there, she takes us inside The Room Women's Summit NYC “room-union” lunch, where a six-hour feast somehow included recipes for hiding the taste of magic mushrooms. Whitney wraps with one last New York story: a rain-soaked martini meet-cute that led to the planning of the very first “Panty Dropper Dinner Party.” Hit play and get ready for an episode best served with a Dirty Sis Martini!

In January 1993, the quiet Belgian village of Arc-Wattripont became the scene of one of Europe's most extraordinary modern hauntings. Over two nights, more than a dozen Gendarmerie officers — trained, skeptical law enforcement — witnessed violent poltergeist activity inside the Dubart family home. Furniture slid and lifted, objects launched into the air, and even a mattress levitated while someone lay on it. Despite exhaustive searches, no hoax or natural cause was found. The case, later dubbed “the Devil's House,” remains unsolved, preserved in official police reports and eyewitness testimony as a chilling reminder that some mysteries defy explanation.OBSCURATA - Apple Spotify AmazonThe BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://www.cerpi-officiel.com/arc-wattripont.htmhttps://www.rtbf.be/article/le-mystere-de-la-maison-hantee-darc-wattripont-10873468https://www.lesoir.be/art/arc-wattripont-phenomenes-paranormaux-et-poltergeist_t-19930108-Z06T1S.htmlhttps://paranormaldatabase.com/hotspots/arcwattripont.phpThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on Wednesday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/;;;SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Unfortunately, more Americans are using their 401(k)'s for financial emergencies I'm sure some will disagree with me based on the headlines arguing they were so happy that they had their 401(k) to tap for whatever their financial emergency was. In my opinion, people are thinking short term and not thinking about the long-term crisis when they retire in 20 or 30 years and then might be living at the poverty level because their 401(k) was not large enough to generate a decent income and social security was far less than they thought. I also want people to understand based on how fast medical technology is moving, in 20 to 30 years you may be spending more time in retirement than the 20 years or so that you were thinking. The numbers are frightening when I look at them and I have wished many times that the 401(k) would eliminate the ability to access funds before retirement like the old pension plans from companies. According to Vanguard, 2024 saw a record of 4.8% of workers that took a hardship distribution for a financial emergency. This was more than double the 2% level in 2019. Even more frightening was nearly 33% of people decided to take and cash in their 401(k) when they changed jobs in spite of the fact of paying taxes and penalties as opposed to rolling that retirement over to an IRA rollover or their new 401K plan. Congress in their infinite wisdom has made it easier to qualify for withdrawals from 401(k)'s for emergencies. I believe the Congress that set up the 401K in 1978 under The Revenue Act of 1978 did not envision the raiding of 401(k)'s for emergencies. I'm pretty confident in 1978 Congress felt this would be a great retirement plan for all Americans, not an emergency fund of to pay off debt. I highly recommend before people take any money out of the 401(k), they talk to a real financial professional to understand the taxes and penalties they are paying. It's not just the taxes and penalties, and one should also figure out the future value of what that account could have grown to and how that withdrawal could devastate their retirement!   Inflation report shows some positives and some negatives The July Consumer Price Index, also known as CPI, showed an annual increase of 2.7%, which was in line with June's reading and below the expectation of 2.8%. The headline number was helped by energy, which showed an annual decline of 1.6%, largely thanks to a decline of 9.5% for gasoline. Energy services on the other hand were not as favorable considering an increase of 5.5% for electricity and 13.8% for utility (piped) gas service. I do wonder if the power demand for these large data centers is starting to put a strain on the grid and I worry this could become even more problematic. As for core CPI, which excludes food and energy, it was up 3.1% from a year ago and was slightly above the forecast of 3%. This was a slight increase from the 2.9% level in June and the highest annual increase since February. Surprisingly, shelter continues to be a large reason for the elevated inflation rate as it was still up 3.7% compared to last year. In terms of tariffs showing up in the report, it still appeared to be subdued. Furniture was up 7.6% compared to last year, but other areas that I would anticipate seeing pressure like apparel and new vehicles saw little change. New vehicle prices were up just 0.4% compared to last year and apparel prices were actually lower by 0.2%. I did see an economist point out the fact that core goods inflation on an annual basis registered the largest growth in over two years, but at 1.2% I wouldn't say that is putting strain on the economy. These tariffs will likely put continued pressure on inflation, but if other areas like shelter continue to see less inflation that could counteract that pressure and keep overall inflation in a manageable situation. Based on the slowing labor market and these manageable levels of inflation I do believe the Fed should cut in September.   What does the national debt surpassing $37 trillion mean for you?  On Tuesday, August 12th, the United States national debt passed $37 trillion for the first time ever. The debt is growing at about $6 billion per day, but that appears to be better than last year. In July 2024, the national debt passed $35 trillion and then in November 2024 it surpassed $36 trillion. Looking for some positives here, it did take nine months for the debt to grow another $1 trillion to the $37 trillion mark. At the end of the second quarter, debt to GDP stood at 119.4%, which is manageable but should not go much higher. Hopefully we can have a slowdown in debt expansion or maybe even a reversal and still have the GDP increase. The reason having a high national debt is a negative is it takes investment out of the private sector to fund our national debt, which can slow down the growth in our economy. A large national debt can also cause interest rates to increase as the need for more debt often means offering higher interest rates to attract buyers. It is also important to know that even when the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, that generally has a larger impact on the short end of the curve, which includes instruments like treasury bills. Your long-term debt, such as 5–10-year notes are not controlled by what the Federal Reserve does and instead is based on supply and demand. It would not be a wise move for the government to only issue short-term debt for a lower rate because if rates were to increase in the future for whatever reason, that could cause our national debt to grow out of control and potentially cause a financial collapse. Also, keep in mind that generally mortgage rates align with the rates for longer term debt and now with some car loans being six or seven years, the interest rates for those loans will probably not drop because they are now longer-term loans not the old 3-to-4-year loans they used to be. We are not in trouble yet, but we are getting close to the edge and we need to grow the economy and still reduce the national debt so our country can continue to prosper and grow.   Financial Planning: Changes Coming to Charitable Giving The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed on July 4, 2025, delivers some new changes coming to how charitable giving may be deducted. For the first time since the pandemic-era CARES Act, those who claim the standard deduction will be able to deduct cash donations up to $1,000 for single filers and $2,000 for joint filers.  This will act as an above-the-line deduction in addition to the standard deduction.  For itemizers, however, the law imposes a new 0.5% of AGI floor, meaning only contributions above that threshold will count toward deductions, potentially reducing benefits for those making smaller annual gifts. For example, a tax filer with an AGI of $200,000 receives no tax benefit on the first $1,000 (.5%) of donations. Also, itemizers are not able to take advantage of the $1,000 to $2,000 above-the-line charitable deduction that standard deduction filers can.  In addition, high earners who are in the 37% tax bracket will only receive a 35% deduction on charitable donations. All of these changes go into effect in 2026, so those claiming the standard deduction may want to wait until then while itemizers and high earners may want to make donations before the end of the year.   Companies Discussed: Intel Corporation (INTC), UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UNH), Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NXST) & Bloomin' Brands, Inc. (BLMN)

Once generating $22M in revenue, the company has seen a four-year slide to $9.4M, though gross margins have oddly improved from 19% to 32% despite the drop. The deal is being marketed at roughly $3.8M — close to the estimated book value of its working capital — making it feel more like a liquidation opportunity than a healthy going concern.Key Highlights:- Asking price: ~$3.8M, pegged to working capital value.- Revenue decline: $22M in 2020 → $9.4M in 2024.- 98% marketplace e-commerce sales via major retailers.- Gross margins increased from 19% to 32% despite shrinking sales.- Marketplace algorithm ranking & Chinese competition as potential killers.Subscribe to weekly our Newsletter and get curated deals in your inboxAdvertise with us by clicking here Do you love Acquanon and want to see our smiling faces?

Throughout my career as a sociologist, I have come to the conclusion that people find sociologists annoying on a deeply personal level. Anthropologists have great stories about travelling to exotic locations. People seem to really appreciate psychology because they think it helps them to better understand why people do the things they do. Historians, while might be boring with their details and minutiae of past events, at least have something to help carry a conversation at a party. Perhaps the only other truly annoying academic profession are philosophers, but they may spend more time talking to themselves than other people. What makes sociologists annoying, in my opinion as a sociologist, is that we think critically all the time about everything. It is not just how we are trained; it is how we are wired. You could show a sociologist a picture of puppies playing in a field, and the sociologist would talk about the perils of puppy mills. You could assure the sociologist that these are from a rescue, and the sociologist would talk about there is a lack of oversight and regulation of these organizations and the emotional manipulation of Sarah McLachlan commercials. You could assure the sociologist that this in fact is a wonderful animal rescue, and the sociologist will talk about how veterinary services in the United States cost more than in other parts of the world, and then launch into a discussion of the lack of healthcare overall. We are exhausting. But the critical thinking element is nevertheless important, because through critical thinking and critical analysis, progress and improvements can be made. The person who joins me today on Experience by Design is neither a sociologist nor annoying, but is a critical thinker and thought leader in his field. Andrew Carothers has had a long career in customer experience, and has some perspectives to share about its past, present, and future. In his opinion, customer experience is in its teenage years, a kind of awkward adolescence where it is trying to find its identity. In finding its way, it also has to find ways to define its importance and relevance to organizational success and culture. We talk about the need for CX to go beyond the metrics it has, but also find other metrics that matter. Andrew discusses the need to put CX more centrally into strategy. We also explore the implications of artificial intelligence for customer experience as a feature and a profession. Andrew emphasizes that good enough is often good enough, especially if that is all that customers want. Finally, we explore how keeping customers is easier than getting customers, and that CX can provide the path to do so, but only if it continues to grow up. Andrew Carothers LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-carothers/

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions Hey guys, appreciate you answering several of my questions in the past, so I thought of a few more. Feel free to separate as they are not related: 1: What do you do, if anything, to maintain furniture you have built? What would you tell a client if they were to ask you. I have always heard Murphy's oil is a good restorative, but when I looked at a bottle at the store I discovered it's just mineral oil. I would never recommend that. Or should I? Lemon Pledge Furniture Polish. Joking, but seriously, what is a good answer? Paste wax? Or just wipe the dust off and let it be? Peter Downing I'm building a dresser and have built the carcass out of cherry plywood. I've glued up a panel out of solid cherry that I want to use as the top. I want to attach the solid panel to the top of the carcass. Would you recommend using screws from the inside/underside of the plywood top and allowing for wood movement or is it ok to glue the solid wood top to the plywood carcass top? Eric Guys Questions Domino vs beadlock set up from rockler?   Same principle...and , in my experience...same outcome.    Thoughts? Crafted Carpentry Tampa When I wanted to learn how to apply shellac, I did a search and found a Youtube video of Guy from the late 70's when Youtube first came out demonstrating his technique involving a balled up rag and a mason jar with a lid to keep it in so it doesn't dry out between coats.  That video is fantastic and I learned a lot than just the rag and jar business. Inevitably, when I'm done shellacking for the day, I leave the rag Guy's Jar.  Because you never really know when you are done applying shellac to something until you arrive at that destination, I end up leaving that rag in the jar for a few weeks.  It's amazing how well it keeps even weeks later.  HOWEVER, on more than one occasion, when I pull Guy's Rag from the jar, it is moldy.  This surprised me the first time because I assumed that the amount of alcohol in the shellac would prevent anything from growing. Does this happen to y'all or is indicative of something amiss.  I just toss it and get a new rag. Additional data points: Shallac is < 2 months old, made from flakes, sourced from Oregon's shellacshack.com I'm using Platina colored shellac usually I'm using "Finishers Edge Shellac Reducer" instead of denatured alcohol because is way more expensive so it must be better right? Jar is a resealable mason jar with a rubber gasket Cloth is from the "bag of t shirts" you can buy at your local woodworking store Shellac still has a strong odor of fresh shellac I reuse the same jar to store my rag Because I'm not a proctologist, there is a chance I've misdiagnosed the mold so I attached an image of the rag. Robert Huys Questions Gents, there is a question here, but I wanted to share some info with you first. In a recent episode there was a bit of a discussion of using Tung oil and how to thin it, etc.  I recently made a  walnut desk inspired by the Nakashima style. I've had the good fortune to get my eyes and hands on some of his pieces for inspiration - they are amazing.  Anyway, on the Nakashima website they discuss the care of their furniture, mentioning how they use Southerland Welles Tung Oil Wiping Varnish. https://sutherlandwelles.com/product-category/wipingvarnish/ It is really easy to apply and looks fantastic, especially on walnut.  I used the Sealer and High Lustre Polymerized Tung Oil finishes. I highly recommend them. (this is not a paid ad!) Finally, here is my question: Have you ever taken a technique, tool, or finish that is used in another craft for your use in furniture making? An example might be Tru Oil used on gunstocks as a furniture finish? Or a technique used by luthiers that helped you in furniture making? Thanks again for a great podcast! Regards, David V. Hi guy I have a question or re3ally looking for advice. I noticed the tension on the v-belt of my delat 14 inch band saw was lose. It looked like freely wabblying when spinning the balde and I could come reaelly close to touching the two sides together when pinching the belt. Anyways I found the manuel online and it says there should be 1 inch deflection. asuming the maker knows what they are talking about I never seen a belt with that much allowance after being tight, so what do you think? Also Wen mention how much a pain replacing the tires or wheels were, how do you do that (i know google will answer my questions too, but we like hearing you guys talk)? Last part, are these upgrades really worth it, sometime I buy into something that really is not an improvement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpDA2X6L9Y4) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FOa9EJf91g) Paul Miotchell
